Freak Out Friends 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I get so boring sometimes I get so stuck in my mind I get so ego driven, Speaking drivel, Time to rewind To the days when I was quieter Sometimes when I look at you your eyes glaze over High school girl, carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders With a laptop too And a book about the French revolution No one needs a revolution more than, more than you All grown up Or maybe not It’ll take a mental breakdown to teach you what you’ve got To teach you not to hide To give you back some pride Maybe you’re boring but at least you’re happy inside Talk to me, tell me how your day went I wanna hear about the cracks in the pavement The mashed up thoughts that didn’t make sense That’s the kind of talking that I like the best I’m sorry that I ramble and the topics can be weak I’m still getting used to my ability to speak I get a bit excited and my thoughts spring a leak I hope that you don’t think that I’m a massive Freak out friends Let’s have fun Things are getting better And they’ve only just begun If they’re getting worse then I think you need to come Throw your head back and dance ‘til you feel undone Freak out friends that’s what you gotta do I’m not the first to say it but I’ll say that it’s true Whether you’re sad or happy or confused Get a little bit mad like there’s nothing to lose Freak out Let it out Dance it out And tell me about it I’ve been down, and felt so small Like I had no voice No way to call To the people I loved To ask for help I’ve been so numb that I’ve barely felt I’ve been good And I’ve been grateful For the time to heal And the good people And to myself for getting through it all I’m stronger now than I was before Freak out friends Let’s have fun Things are getting better And they’ve only just begun If they’re getting worse then I think you need to come Throw your head back and dance ‘til you feel undone Freak out friends that’s what you gotta do I’m not the first to say it but I’ll say that it’s true Whether you’re sad or happy or confused Get a little bit mad like there’s nothing to lose Freak out Let it out Dance it out And tell me about it Freak out Let it out Dance it out And tell me about it

Bumblin' Around 02:04
lyrics

I wake up Put on my hat I hate my job I like it like that Sh-sh-shout me The next round of drinks It’s your turn to pay That’s what I want you to think You know we like to mess around Nothing’s gonna weigh us down What goes up won’t hit the ground — woo! It goes round and round Stare at the sky I’m so high Feeling lazy Don’t care why In Maroo-ch-chydore But I’m such a bore Things to do For someone else because... You know we like to mess around Nothing’s gonna weigh us down What goes up won’t hit the ground — woo! It goes round and round It’s getting late Fast and the Furious 8 The Rock fights Vin Diesel I wish they were both my mates 4:35 am Fell asleep on the couch again Infomercials on replay Time to start a new day You know we like to mess around Nothing’s gonna weigh us down What goes up won’t hit the ground — Fucking hell, I’m so unwound You know we like to mess around Nothing’s gonna weigh us down What goes up won’t hit the ground — woo! It goes round and round

MPDG 03:19
lyrics

I don’t wanna be your manic pixie dream girl I don’t wanna reinvigorate your fascination with this world I don’t wanna be the sunshine in your darkest hour I don’t want fixing you to be my only power I won’t be your MPDG Don’t wanna be your MPDG I won’t be your MPDG Don’t wanna be your MPDG You’re looking at me like I’m some kind of prize You’re looking at me like you can’t believe your eyes I like you baby but you’ve got to realise I am not a projection of your innermost desires I won’t be your MPDG Don’t wanna be your MPDG I won’t be your MPDG Don’t wanna be your MPDG Please don’t treat me like I’m two dimensional 2D! Please don’t burden me with your expectations You see! What you’re doing is obscuring the Real me! Keep this up and it’s gonna end… badly I won’t be your Don’t wanna be your I won’t be your MPDG I won’t be your MPDG I won’t be your MPDG I won’t be your MPDG, not me!

Hardly Having Fun 02:37
lyrics
buy track
It’s Friday night on Chapel Street, the dudes are out to play I’m in my living room, and that is where I'll stay I hear it from my window, a sloshed and joyful song I knew that there’d be jealousy but it wasn’t meant to last this long Oh we’re hardly having any fun, living while we’re young No, we’re hardly having any fun, living while we’re young And the south side boys go: nah-nah-nah The next day comes, I'm still at home, reading in my bed Invited to your birthday, I’d rather dream about it instead There’s no reason not to leave, and maybe I’ve hit a wall I turn the page and wonder if my life needs an overhaul Oh we’re hardly having any fun, living while we’re young No, we’re hardly having any fun, living while we’re young And the south side boys go: nah-nah-nah Sunday morning — shhhh! — I’m dodging my parents’ phone calls Get a dollar coffee and a banana, then watch basketball There’s no pressure to party: afternoon light, this is bliss I actually love the life I lead, besides the alternatives are shit Monday, 9 to 5 Morning meeting, can’t survive I push the lever and count the beans, remember the weekend? It was a dream! When I used to feel alive Oh we’re hardly having any fun, living while we’re young No, we’re hardly having any fun, living while we’re young We’re hardly having fun Hardly having fun Hardly having any fun Living while we’re young!
